child labour laws do not apply if the children are having "fun", right?

you just have to convince them that they are having fun.. In that sense it's kinda like running sprintervals. You really have to convince yourself that you're having fun, even though you feel like throwing up your lungs.

I'm easily tricked, I think I love these, especially on hills. Which of course put me in my current state, but it was still fun -lol

I would never say that to your face. Only behind your back to Brett and Ray.

thanks :-) The upside is that it's kind of like a new build but without the building part. Sorta like fast forwarding to the end of a build after all the rockscaping has been done and the tank has been cycled. Now all I need to do is add livestock :-)

I did sit in front of the tank for a bit and contemplated what I might do differently but in the end, I couldn't come up with anything, really. I still love the design of the tank, love my aquascaping, my support system underneath. Aside from possibly getting a new skimmer and maybe switching to LED, I don't plan to change anything. I especially liked the fact that I could aggressively take a cleaning brush to all of my rock structures and they didn't move an inch.
